Your guide to all things local.

Start Your Own Local Media Company - Part-time!

With a modest initial investment, you can start your own local media business running a Localista Magazine in your own community. Localista Magazine provides you with a website platform complete with a content management system and features such as advertising, social media, calendar, SEO, content, maps and more. Plus, we provide you with business cards, email service, graphics, marketing materials, technical training/support and ongoing training/mentoring packages to help you successfully run the business for a low monthly maintenance and support fee.

"A great opportunity to transition from a full-time job or stay-at-home Mom to financial independence."

How Do I Make Money?

There are three ways you will earn money through your Localista Magazine license.

First by selling advertising. You keep 85% of the revenue from ads sold.

Second, you can sell interview services via your Localista Magazine web site and via Localista Radio. Conduct the interview yourself and earn 85% or have Localista HQ do it on your behalf and you earn 15%.

And, finally (and perhaps most profitable) is to bring on LOCAL EXPERTS from your community. For many, being recognized as an expert is 100 times more powerful than merely placing an ad and can easily lead to significant recurring revenue.

So, with this incredible combination of benefits, you can easily start earning thousands of dollars per month depending upon the size of your market! And, these are not all one-time sales; some are recurring so your efforts get compounded monthly.

PLUS: You will earn 15% of any revenue from national or regional ad packages and/or Local Expert programs secured by Localista HQ for your area.

How Much Time Will I Need to Invest?

If you are already well connected in your local business community, you may only need to invest as little as 10 to 20 hours per week. Typical Licensees should expect to spend 20 to 30 hours a week. For those Licensees who have goals to replace multiple incomes, they can expect to spend 40 to 60 hours per week and may want to consider licensing additional areas. That said, by spending at least 20 hours a week on highly-focused efforts to build your business, you can likely start earning a profit in the first year!

Localista has a number of Local Editions that are "company-owned" and already have an established social media fan-base. So, in case the city or area you wish to License appears to already be taken, ask anyway, it may be available!
